संकट मोचन हनुमानाष्टक (Sankat Mochan Hanuman Aashtak )
बाल समय रबि भक्षि लियो तब, तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो ।
ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को, यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो ॥
देवन आन करि बिनती तब, छाँड़ि दियो रबि कष्ट निवारो ।
को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो ॥ 1 ॥

लाल देह लाली लसे, अरू धरि लाल लंगूर ।
बज्र देह दानव दलन, जय जय जय कपि सूर ॥
Red body anointed with red vermilion, Sporting as long-tailed red Simian;
Thunder-bolt like body that crushes the demons, Hail, hail, hail Kapi the Champion.
॥ इति संकटमोचन हनुमानाष्टक सम्पूर्ण ॥
